Malosi Studio Chieftain 180F Floating Stickbait Lure

Malosi Studio Chieftain 180F Floating Stickbait Lure

The Original Surface Weapon for Serious Saltwater Anglers

Built to thrive in extreme saltwater environments, the Malosi Chieftain 180F is the original Malosi design – a floating stickbait purpose-built for topwater predators like GTs, tuna, and kingfish. Its unique flat-surface resting position and custom-cut mouth deliver a seductive, wide S-swim that triggers aggressive strikes, even in rough conditions or from high platforms.

Handmade from solid Paulownia wood and sealed in a tough resin shell, the Chieftain features a 2mm stainless steel through-wire and ten layers of polyurethane for maximum durability. Whether you rig it with trebles, singles, or a combination, it maintains its action and balance – ready for serious surface action.
